The starting point

$50–$250 can start a business.

In many of the communities HAPS serves, a small amount of startup capital can create a life-changing opportunity.

Through HAPS Business School, entrepreneurs learn basic business skills and can qualify for a $50–$250 micro-grant to start businesses such as:

  • Chicken farms
  • Produce stands
  • Food carts
  • Clothing businesses
  • Agriculture
  • Livestock
  • Transportation
  • Washing services
  • Market businesses

Small Grant. Real Business. Lasting Opportunity.

How a HAPS micro-grant works

What a grant starts

Real businesses, run by their owners.

A micro-grant is small on purpose. It buys the feed, the stock, the seed, the cart, or the tools — and the entrepreneur runs the business themselves.

The multiplier

One business.
Three more lives.

Our mission doesn’t stop with the first entrepreneur.

Each HAPS micro-grant recipient commits to helping three other people work toward starting businesses over the following three years.

Local Hope Ambassadors help provide mentorship, accountability, and progress reporting.

One opportunity can become many.
